Love was in the air...by at least 30,000 feet. 

On the way home to Dallas, Rosey Blair and her boyfriend weren't able to snag seats next to each other, so they ended up asking a woman to switch. Blair tweeted that they "made a joke that maybe her new seat partner would be the love of her life," and it might be coming true.

It turns out when the woman's seatmate came to sit down, the two hit it off. And Blair was right there (sitting behind them) to share the budding romance happen in real time. "They are flirting!!! Both look like sexy fitness buffs and they are chatting chatting and smiling at each other (sic) and we haven't even left the runway!!!! I hope they get to fall in love!" read one of Blair's posts.

It turns out the two unnamed seatmates had quite a lot in common, including their profession (personal trainers), their diet (vegetarian), and a lack of a wedding band on their finger. Blair also said they were "talking non stop" and "touched arms a few times," bringing every follower back to the middle school days of love.

But things really got heated when the woman went to the bathroom with her hair in a ponytail and came back wearing it down. And then later when "they just left for the bathroom at the SAME TIME." Whoa.

Blair and her own beau ended up following the two to baggage claim, where they seemed to be getting quite cozy with each other as well. Her sleuth-y boyfriend also found them on Instagram and confirmed that both are single, based in Dallas, and following each other.

Blair's posts have since went viral and maybe made everyone start believing in true love again.
